7 Detailed Description

7.1 OverviewThe LP38500-ADJ and LP38502-ADJ are flex-cap and low-dropout adjustable regulators, the output voltage canbe set from 0.6 V to 5 V. Standard regulator features, such as overcurrent and overtemperature protections, arealso included.

The LP38500-ADJ and LP38502-ADJ contains several features:

Stable with any type of output capacitor

Fast load transient response

Disable Mode (LP38502-ADJ only)

7.3 Feature Description

7.3.1 Stability And Phase MarginAny regulator which operates using a feedback loop must be compensated in such a way as to ensure adequatephase margin, which is defined as the difference between the phase shift and –180 degrees at the frequencywhere the loop gain crosses unity (0 dB). For most LDO regulators, the ESR of the output capacitor is required tocreate a zero to add enough phase lead to ensure stable operation. The LP38500-ADJ and LP38502-ADJ eachhave a unique internal compensation circuit which maintains phase margin regardless of the ESR of the outputcapacitor, so any type of capacitor may be used.

Figure 14 shows the gain/phase plot of the LP38500-ADJ and LP38502-ADJ with an output of 1.2 V, a 10-µFceramic output capacitor, delivering 1.5 A of load current. It can be seen that the unity-gain crossover occurs at150 kHz, and the phase margin is about 40° (which is very stable).

Figure 14. Gain-Bandwidth Plot for 1.5-A Load

Figure 15 shows the gain and phase with no external load. In this case, the only load is provided by the gainsetting resistors (about 12 kΩ total in this test). It is immediately obvious that the unity-gain frequency issignificantly lower (dropping to about 500 Hz), at which point the phase margin is 125°.

Feature Description (continued)

Figure 15. Gain-Bandwidth Plot for No Load

The reduction in unity-gain bandwidth as load current is reduced is normal for any LDO regulator using a P-FETor PNP pass transistor, because they have a pole in the loop gain function given by:

(1)

This illustrates how the pole goes to the highest frequency when RL is minimum value (maximum load current).In general, LDOs have maximum bandwidth (and lowest phase margin) at full load current. In the case of theLP38500-ADJ or LP38502-ADJ, it can be seen that it has good phase margin even when using ceramiccapacitors with ESR values of only a few mΩ.

7.3.2 Load Transient ResponseLoad transient response is defined as the change in regulated output voltage which occurs as a result of achange in load current. Many applications have loads which vary, and the control loop of the voltage regulatormust adjust the current in the pass FET transistor in response to load current changes. For this reason,regulators with wider bandwidths often have better transient response.

The LP38500-ADJ and LP38502-ADJ employs an internal feed-forward design which makes the load transientresponse much faster than would be predicted simply by loop speed: this feedforward means any voltagechanges appearing on the output are coupled through to the high-speed driver used to control the gate of thepass FET along a signal path using very fast FET devices. Because of this, the pass transistor’s current canchange very quickly.

Figure 15 shows the output voltage load transient which occurs on a 1.8-V output when the load changes from0.1 A to 1.5 A at an average slew rate of 0.5 A/µs. As shown, the peak output voltage change from nominal isabout 40 mV, which is about 2.2%.

Feature Description (continued)In cases where extremely fast load changes occur, the output capacitance may have to be increased. For fastchanging loads, the internal parasitics of ESR (equivalent series resistance) and ESL (equivalent seriesinductance) degrade the capacitor’s ability to source current quickly to the load. The best capacitor types fortransient performance are (in order):1. Multilayer Ceramic: with the lowest values of ESR and ESL, they can have ESR values in the range of a few

mΩ. Disadvantage: capacitance values above about 22 µF significantly increase in cost.2. Low-ESR Aluminum Electrolytics: these are aluminum types (like OSCON) with a special electrolyte which

provides extremely low ESR values, and are the closest to ceramic performance while still providing largeamounts of capacitance. These are cheaper (by capacitance) than ceramic.

3. Solid tantalum: can provide several hundred µF of capacitance, transient performance is slightly worse thanOSCON type capacitors, cheaper than ceramic in large values.

4. General purpose aluminum electrolytics: cheap and provide a lot of capacitance, but give the worstperformance.

In general, managing load transients is done by paralleling ceramic capacitance with a larger bulk capacitance.In this way, the ceramic can source current during the rapidly changing edge and the bulk capacitor can supportthe load current after the first initial spike in current.

7.3.3 Dropout VoltageThe dropout voltage of a regulator is defined as the input-to-output differential required by the regulator to keepthe output voltage within 2% of the nominal value. For CMOS LDOs, the dropout voltage is the product of theload current and the RDS(on) of the internal MOSFET pass element.

Since the output voltage is beginning to “drop out” of regulation when it drops by 2%, electrical performance ofthe device will be reduced compared to the values listed in the Electrical Characteristics table for someparameters (line and load regulation and PSRR would be affected).

7.3.4 Reverse Current PathThe internal MOSFET pass element in the LP38500-ADJ and LP38502-ADJ has an inherent parasitic diode.During normal operation, the input voltage is higher than the output voltage and the parasitic diode is reversebiased. However, if the output is pulled above the input in an application, then current flows from the output tothe input as the parasitic diode gets forward biased. The output can be pulled above the input as long as thecurrent in the parasitic diode is limited to 200-mA continuous and 1-A peak. The regulator output pin should notbe taken below ground potential. If the LP38500-ADJ and LP38502-ADJ is used in a dual-supply system wherethe regulator load is returned to a negative supply, the output must be diode-clamped to ground.

7.4 Device Functional Modes

7.4.1 Short-Circuit ProtectionThe LP38500-ADJ and LP38502-ADJ contain internal current limiting which will reduce output current to a safevalue if the output is overloaded or shorted. Depending upon the value of VIN, thermal limiting may also becomeactive as the average power dissipated causes the die temperature to increase to the limit value (about 170°C).The hysteresis of the thermal shutdown circuitry can result in a “cyclic” behavior on the output as the dietemperature heats and cools.

7.4.2 Enable Operation (LP38502-ADJ Only)The Enable pin (EN) must be actively terminated by either a 10-kΩ pull-up resistor to VIN, or a driver whichactively pulls high and low (such as a CMOS rail to rail comparator). If active drive is used, the pull-up resistor isnot required. This pin must be tied to VIN if not used (it must not be left floating).

8 Application and Implementation

NOTEInformation in the following applications sections is not part of the TI componentspecification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers areresponsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers shouldvalidate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

8.1 Application InformationThe LP38500-ADJ and LP38502-ADJ devices can provide 1.5-A output current with 2.7-V to 5.5-V input voltage.These ultra-low-dropout linear regulators respond very quickly to step changes in load, making them suitable forlow-voltage microprocessor applications. Input and output capacitors of at least 10 µF are required.

8.2 Typical Applications

8.2.1 Design RequirementsFor LP3850x-ADJ typical applications, use the parameters listed in Table 1 as the input parameters.

Table 1. Design ParametersDESIGN PARAMETERS VALUE

Input voltage 2.7 V to 5.5 VOutput voltage 0.6 V to 5 V (adjustable)Output current 1.5 A (maximum)Input capacitor 10 µF (minimum)

Output capacitor 10 uF (minimum)

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

8.2.2.1 External CapacitorsThe LP38500-ADJ and LP38502-ADJ require that at least 10-µF (±20%) capacitors be used at the input andoutput pins located within one cm of the device. Larger capacitors may be used without limit on size for both CINand COUT. Capacitor tolerances such as temperature variation and voltage loading effects must be consideredwhen selecting capacitors to ensure that they will provide the minimum required amount of capacitance under alloperating conditions for the application.

In general, ceramic capacitors are best for noise bypassing and transient response because of their ultra lowESR. It must be noted that if ceramics are used, only the types with X5R or X7R dielectric ratings should be used(never Z5U or Y5F). Capacitors which have the Z5U or Y5F characteristics will see a drop in capacitance of asmuch as 50% if their temperature increases from 25°C to 85°C. In addition, the capacitance drops significantlywith applied voltage: a typical Z5U or Y5F capacitor can lose as much as 60% of its rated capacitance if only halfof the rated voltage is applied to it. For these reasons, only X5R and X7R ceramics should be used.

8.2.2.2 Input CapacitorAll linear regulators can be affected by the source impedance of the voltage which is connected to the input. Ifthe source impedance is too high, the reactive component of the source may affect the control loop’s phasemargin. To ensure proper loop operation, the ESR of the capacitor used for CIN must not exceed 0.5 Ω. Anygood quality ceramic capacitor will meet this requirement, as well as many good quality tantalums. Aluminumelectrolytic capacitors may also work, but can possibly have an ESR which increases significantly at coldtemperatures. If the ESR of the input capacitor may exceed 0.5 Ω, it is recommended that a 2.2-µF ceramiccapacitor be used in parallel, as this will assure stable loop operation.

8.2.2.3 Output CapacitorAny type of capacitor may be used for COUT, with no limitations on minimum or maximum ESR, as long as theminimum amount of capacitance is present. The amount of capacitance can be increased without limit.Increasing the size of COUT typically will give improved load transient response.

8.2.2.4 Setting The Output VoltageThe output voltage of the LP38500/2-ADJ can be set to any value between 0.6V and 5V using two externalresistors shown as R1 and R2 in Figure 19.

Figure 19. Setting Output Voltage

The value of R2 should always be less than or equal to 10 kΩ for good loop compensation. R1 can be selectedfor a given VOUT using the following formula:

VOUT = VADJ (1 + R1/R2) + IADJ (R1)

where• VADJ is the adjust pin voltage• IADJ is the bias current flowing into the adjust pin (2)

8.2.2.5 RFI/EMI SusceptibilityRadio Frequency Interference (RFI) and Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI) can degrade any integrated circuit'sperformance because of the small dimensions of the geometries inside the device. In applications where circuitsources are present which generate signals with significant high frequency energy content (> 1 MHz), care mustbe taken to ensure that this does not affect the device regulator.

If RFI/EMI noise is present on the input side of the regulator (such as applications where the input source comesfrom the output of a switching regulator), good ceramic bypass capacitors must be used at the input pin of thedevice to reduce the amount of EMI conducted into the device.

If the LP38500, LP38502-ADJ output is connected to a load which switches at high speed (such as a clock), thehigh-frequency current pulses required by the load must be supplied by the capacitors on the device output.Since the bandwidth of the regulator loop is less than 300 kHz, the control circuitry cannot respond to loadchanges above that frequency. This means the effective output impedance of the device at frequencies above300 kHz is determined only by the output capacitor(s). Ceramic capacitors provide the best performance in thistype of application.

LP38500-ADJ, LP38502-ADJwww.ti.com SNVS539H –NOVEMBER 2007–REVISED SEPTEMBER 2015

In applications where the load is switching at high speed, the output of the device may need RF isolation fromthe load. In such cases, it is recommended that some inductance be placed between the output capacitor andthe load, and good RF bypass capacitors be placed directly across the load. PCB layout is also critical in highnoise environments, since RFI/EMI is easily radiated directly into PC traces. Noisy circuitry should be isolatedfrom clean circuits where possible, and grounded through a separate path. At MHz frequencies, ground planesbegin to look inductive and RFI/EMI can cause ground bounce across the ground plane. In multi-layer PC Boardapplications, care should be taken in layout so that noisy power and ground planes do not radiate directly intoadjacent layers which carry analog power and ground.

8.2.2.6 Output NoiseNoise is specified in two ways:• Spot noise or output noise density is the RMS sum of all noise sources, measured at the regulator output, at

a specific frequency (measured with a 1-Hz bandwidth). This type of noise is usually plotted on a curve as afunction of frequency.

• Total output noise or broadband noise is the RMS sum of spot noise over a specified bandwidth, usuallyseveral decades of frequencies.

Spot noise is measured in units µV/√Hz or nV/√Hz and total output noise is measured in µV(rms). The primarysource of noise in low-dropout regulators is the internal reference. In CMOS regulators, noise has a low-frequency component and a high frequency component, which depend strongly on the silicon area and quiescentcurrent.

Noise can generally be reduced in two ways: increase the transistor area or increase the reference current.However, enlarging the transistors will increase die size, and increasing the reference current means higher totalsupply current (ground pin current).

9 Power Supply RecommendationsThe LP38500-ADJ and LP38502-ADJ devices are designed to operate from an input voltage supply rangebetween 2.7 V and 5.5 V. The input voltage range provides adequate headroom in order for the device to have aregulated output. This input supply must be well regulated. An input capacitor of at least 10 μF is required.

9.1 Power Dissipation/HeatsinkingThe maximum power dissipation (PD(MAX)) of the LP38500-ADJ and LP38502-ADJ is limited by the maximumjunction temperature of 125°C, along with the maximum ambient temperature (TA(MAX)) of the application, and thethermal resistance (RθJA) of the package. Under all possible conditions, the junction temperature (TJ) must bewithin the range specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions. The total power dissipation of the deviceis given by:

PD = ((VIN − VOUT) × IOUT) + (VIN × IGND)

where• IGND is the operating ground current of the device (specified under Electrical Characteristics) (3)

The maximum allowable junction temperature rise (ΔTJ) depends on the maximum expected ambienttemperature (TA(MAX)) of the application, and the maximum allowable junction temperature (TJ(MAX)):

ΔTJ = TJ(MAX)− TA(MAX) (4)

The maximum allowable value for junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, RθJA, can be calculated using theformula:

RθJA = ΔTJ / PD(MAX) (5)

The LP38500-ADJ and LP38502-ADJ are available in the DDPAK/TO-263, TO-263, and WSON packages. Thethermal resistance depends on the amount of copper area allocated to heat transfer.

10 Layout

10.1 Layout Guidelines

10.1.1 Printed Circuit Board LayoutGood layout practices will minimize voltage error and prevent instability which can result from ground loops. Theinput and output capacitors should be directly connected to the device pins with short traces that have no othercurrent flowing in them (Kelvin connect).

The best way to do this is to place the capacitors very near the device and make connections directly to thedevice pins via short traces on the top layer of the PCB. The regulator’s ground pin should be connected throughvias to the internal or backside ground plane so that the regulator has a single point ground.

The external resistors which set the output voltage must also be located very near the device with all connectionsdirectly tied via short traces to the pins of the device (Kelvin connect). Do not connect the resistive divider to theload point or DC error will be induced.

10.2.1 Heatsinking WSON PackageThe junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for the WSON package is dependent on how much PCB copper ispresent to conduct heat away from the device. The LP38502SD-ADJ evaluation board (980600046-100) wastested and gave a result of about 52.5°C/W with a power dissipation of 1 W and no external airflow. Thisevaluation board is a two layer board using two ounce copper, and the copper area on topside for heatsinking isapproximately two square inches. Multiple vias under the DAP also thermally connect to the backside layer whichhas about three square inches of copper dedicated to heatsinking.

With four thermal vias directly under the DAP to the first copper plane, the modeling predicts a RθJA of 52.5°C/W.

Adding a dog-bone copper area with four additional thermal vias in the dog-bone area to the first copper planecan improve RθJA to 45°C/W.
